actually i am deaf- totally- but i can say a moderate loss with a hearing aid is no big issue, you really have to wear them and get used to them, with a profound loss, music will start to sound funky, depending on your loss you may tolerate it or not so much, i wear a cochlear implant (4 years now) and play guitar daily, so if i can- anyone with some acoustic hearing left should be able to play with an aid
